Sad Clothes Irons

As sad irons go, this one is the easiest to use. Place iron base on stove and release handle. When base is hot, snap on gray steel handle with its comfy black wooden grip and you're ready! Buy two bases for each handle and let one heat while you iron with the other.

These flat irons have a long history that dates back to the 1800s. During that time, the word sad meant heavy, which was a fitting name for these irons. While they were compact, they were heavier with their solid iron bodies.

"I am very unimpressed and disappointed with the prices Lehmans feels they can charge for these small lumps of metal. They are only worth 40 cents for scrap metal, why should you pay 45.00!!?? but wait, if you do want to pay 45$, you'll still have to fork over another 30$ so that you can have a handle to be able to use your 40 cent piece of metal. have fun with that 75$ purchase!
if you really have to have one of these go to an antique store, i just got two bases, each for 2.25$, that's 5$ for two (you save $85, or close to) and handles are maybe more like an extra 10$ (i got a broken one to repair so it was cheaper yet!)
